LIQUID-APPLYING DEVICE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 3, 1914.

Application filed October 5, 1912. Serial No. 724,158.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Gnn'rnunn SMITH, acitizen of the United States; residing at Valdosta, in the county ofLow'ndes and State of Georgia, have invented a new and usefulLiquid-Applying Device, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a liquid applying device and more particularlyto a device'of this character adapted for applying a hair tonic or dyeto the scalp.

It'has for its object the-provision of a simple device of this characterwhich can be applied to bottles of ordinary construction and whichmay beleft, attached to the bottle until the contents thereof have becomeexhausted.

With thisand other objects in view my invention consists in thefollowing details of construction and combination of parts, as

will be more fully understood from the following specification anddrawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a side view partly in section; Fig. 2 is an end view; Fig. 3is a top view partly in section and Fig. 4 is a view of a slightmodification.

In the drawings, the numeral 1 indicates a bottle of ordinaryconstruction, the neck of which is provided with the flange 2.

My improved device is indicated by the numeral 3 and isprovided with theextension 4 which enters 'the neck of the bottle, and is enlarged at itsouter end as shown at 5. The extension 4 is surrounded by the asket 6 soas to make a ti ht fit in the bottle.

Ierforated teeth 7 are ormed on the enlarged end of the device and arepreferably in three rows, as clearly shown in Fig. 2.

As shown in Fig. 1, the teeth are curved at the top in order to conformto the curvature of the scalp. A flange 8 is formed on the member 3 andis adapted to rest on the top of the bottle. Surrounding the member 3and resting on the flange 8 is a metal band 9 which is provided with thespring arms 10 adalpted to engage the flange 2 on the bottle nec In Fig.4 I have shown a slight modification. It will be noted that in this formI have done away with the flange 8 and the extension 4 entering the neckof the bottle is tapered and surrounded by the gasket 6.

From the foregoing description, it is thought that the construction andoperation of the device will be readily understood and it will be seenthat the liquid will pass from the bottle 1 through the extension 4 intothe enlargement 5 and out through the teeth 7. The spring arms 10 willsecurely hold the device to the bottle and when the contents of thebottle have become exhausted the device can be removed and applied toanother bottle.

Having thus described, the invention what I claim and desire to 'secureby Letters Patent is: l y

A liquid applying device comprising a receptacle, a hollow stopper, saidstop er being enlarged at its outer end, per orated teeth formed on thestopper, a flange formed on the stopper adapted to engage thereceptacle, a band encircling the stopper and engaging the flange, andspring arms extend- 1ng from the band and engaging the receptacle.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixedmy signature in the presence of two witnesses.
